What is Generation Rx?

What is the Provider Toolkit?

The Provider Toolkit, created by the ETSU College of Pharmacy Generation Rx team, aims to start the conversation among healthcare providers about prescription drug abuse. Our Generation Rx team enlists the knowledge of professional students from the Colleges of Pharmacy, Medicine, Nursing, and Public Health on the ETSU Academic Health Sciences campus. The Provider Toolkit provides the information and resources necessary for each healthcare professional to become educated on prescription drug abuse and how to prevent it.

Our presentation includes a case study brought to life through film, basic information on abuse and addiction, and the steps we can take as healthcare professionals to fight prescription drug abuse. We believe that by working together as an inter-professional team, we can begin to put a stop to the prescription drug abuse epidemic.
